Conventional incandescent light bulbs (including halogen lamps) convert considerably less than 20% of the energy they use into light. Since they work by literally burning a metal filament, most of the input electricity is lost as heat. To say that they're not very efficient at performing the very task for which they were designed is therefore something of an understatement. If you wanted a diminutive heater then traditional light bulbs are quite effective, though of course the heat they... Read Full Story

Our government's "Green Revolution" is another covert attack on our collective health and environment, largely using their mythical global warming hoax to do so. The new Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are a perfect example of this kind of subterfuge.
